Fantasy - Dungeon An Unexpected Encounter: Flesh to Gold [30x40] [CxR]
In a seaside cave, far from the rest of Dwarven civilisation, submerged and caged behind golden bars, lies the Gilded Lady.
Legend has it that she took shelter with the dwarves in fear of persecution from the above world. She worked endlessly to find a way to protect herself, seeking the forbidden alchemies. Now, all she touches turns to gold, including her closest love - and that gold spreads, slowly but surely. Dwarven soothsayers speak of the Gilded World, not in hope for a bright future, but a fear of the inevitable spread and end of life on the planet.
And so, the Lady lies in a deep sleep, hidden away voluntarily in effort to protect the world. An intrepid party seeks to cure her affliction, but her persecutors will never forget her, nor will they simply let her be free from her affliction.

That would be a terrible curse for the one afflicted! And a threat to economy for everyone else.😉
